Derby clash moved again

Mon, 13 Jul 17:37:39 2009

Cardiff's derby clash against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium has once again been moved back to November 7.

The fixture was initially due to take place on the Saturday but was switched to Sunday November 8 so it would not clash with the rugby encounter between Wales and New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium.

Yet the match has now been moved back to the Saturday and will be shown live on Sky Sports with a 12.45pm kick-off, much earlier than Wales's 5.15pm start.

Crowd trouble marred all three of the meetings between the two sides last season.

Elsewhere, Cardiff's Severnside home derby clash against Bristol City has been moved back a day to Sunday August 23, while the encounter against Nottingham Forest at the Cardiff City Stadium will now take place on Sunday November 1.

The home game against Watford will be played a day later on Sunday March 21 and, subsequently, the clash with Sheffield United has been switched to Wednesday March 24.
